Golden State has a 2.1M dollar trade exception that expires Thursday. That means they can take on more salary in a trade than they have to ship out even though they are over the cap.
It'd be a last minute move, but would anyone be in favor of offering them Shelden Williams for one of the following:
Patrick O'Bryant (2.2M expiring) (straight up)
or
Kosta Perovic (1.8M per with another year on his deal) (straight up)
or
Austin Croshere (1.2M expiring) and a 2nd rounder.
It clear some cap space for the off season for us and might actually be able to contribute for them (rebounding, D) with the change of scenery. POB or Perovic would actually give us height on the bench to give a trial. Croshere could theoretically shoot the long ball in limited action and bang on the boards a little.
I suspect that Golden State would say no thanks, but I was curious if anyone still had hopes for Shelden here?

I am still a Shelden fan. Minutes are his problem. 19 minutes in the indy game=10 rebounds and a block. 26 in the other indy game=7 rebounds and 2 blocks. The main problem with him is he is not able to develop a consistent rebounding period, but that is due to his minutes. When you play 25 minutes one game, 11 the next, 19 the next, 6 the next, then 11, you can't develop any consistency.

dallas- that TPE can't be used to acquire Shelden Williams since he makes more than the exception. You can't combine a player salary and the exception to acquire a player that makes more than the exception. And if there is a Golden state trade I would think that Lue would be the player to get sent out. I think Golden state is in the market for a backup PG.

Okay, thanks for correcting me. They have another exemption from the Jason Richardson trade that I guess could be used to handle salary difference as long as the players make less than 9.9M?
I would have no problem with sending them both Lue and Shelden for a draft pick and filler to clear Shelden off the books. However I think they are planning to use that exception to make it easier to trade Pietrus. I'm not sure if Pietrus is the right guy to add to the roster.

Lost of guys do that and are just fine. Shelden just isn't any good. If he was he would be getting big minutes.
I would do that Croshere deal.
